Sekisui House launches the latest sustainable design, Urban

SEKISUI House, Japan's largest home builder, will this weekend release their latest Shawood luxury sustainable home, Urban, located in the Beachside estate of The Coolum Residences, in the secluded beach town of Yaroomba.

The Shawood display homes, which launched at The Coolum Residences last year, set a new benchmark in sustainable home design and received accolades for excellence in leading design, quality and innovation.

The $1.4 million Urban home is the next to be released in the collection and sits in a street of six Shawood homes, in a private gated precinct within the exclusive Beachside residence, just a stroll from the beach.

The Urban at Beachside home is designed for understated luxury featuring four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms with two open-plan living spaces and an innovative outdoor room, completed with high end Miele appliances, quality fixtures and fittings.

The flexible open-plan design separates the master suite from the remaining bedrooms and embraces the connected landscaping with a focus on indoor-outdoor connectivity.

The inspired detailing of the high level screening of the outdoor room creates an undeniable street presence while the north-east facing pool enhances the aesthetics and comfort of this design which flows seamlessly with the indoor space.

Lend Lease regional development manager Peter Bolton-Hall said the Urban at Beachside home was a sound investment or lifestyle choice for those seeking the best in luxury living in an eco-friendly way.

"This is a perfect location for a home of this calibre and standard and what can be achieved when there is a commitment to sustainability and harmony. This home utilises the best in Japanese and Australian design and technology," Mr Bolton-Hall said.

"By using sustainable materials and smart universal design, the home ensures liveability and comfort for generations to come."

Each home has been built for comfort, durability and practicality. The sustainably sourced timber framework is pre-engineered off-site to ensure the highest precision on each home resulting in an extra strength housing frame, capable of withstanding powerful storms and harsh weather conditions.

Low maintenance materials have been used including external cladding which is self-cleaning, a smart design feature which will save on cleaning effort and costs well into the future. It also helps detract heat from the home.

The Urban at Beachside home will be open for inspection on Friday, April 26, to Sunday, April 28, from 10am to 2pm.
